I remember the time when there was an uproar when Intel tried to add unique ID instructions, so I was surprised to learn that CPUs can now be uniquely identified via software, but apparently it is true via fTPM.
The CPU isn't a cheater. The user of the CPU was the cheater. Banning a user who did not cheat is wrong. So no, do not fuck that CPU, fuck the anticheat system that gone too far.
Some comments in the article suggest not buying used CPU/GPU/motherboardsbeacuse of this potential issue. Absolutely absurd. The takeaway is to not play games with this type of shitty anti-cheat detection. Or at the very least, not play ones in which the company won't even unban the new owner. Not that you'll even know about this type of stuff until it happens. Not like they have any reason to tell people how it works.

IMO such bans should lapse after several years anyway. Makes little sense that a 35 years old person would still be banned on an entire platform because they were an idiot 20 years before (Valve Anti-Cheat is over 20 years old, so that time frame isn't unrealistic).
Luckily I don't play online games, so maybe I can grab cheap gaming PC from After-Cartoonist-196. 😁

Once a cheater, always a cheater. We’re speaking specifically about the CPU here. That CPU is a cheater. Fuck that CPU.

Yes, I was being sarcastic.
Yeah I can see it now. Just woke up and you got me with that line. :-p
Maybe they should try banning that disgusting and vile CPU instead of the innocent player.
They kinda did with this.
Maybe we should ban all CPUs because they can be used for cheating. What do you think?
Guilty until proven innocent!
Just have it removed from game makers database or would that be a nightmare in itself?
This is being far too over zealous
client side anti cheat was already overzealous.
these people look like they are gonna block everyone until nobody can play their damn game lmao.
You lived in the same state as someone who cheated, YOU'RE BANNED!
